The Road You Leave Behind |
| I remember the night my dad stopped the car |
| And got out in the rain |
| Changed a blown out tire on a car |
| For a family with out of state plates |
| I said dad did we know those folks |
| As they waved and drove out of sight |
| He just smiled as he started the car |
| He said son not 'til tonight |
| You see the road you leave behind you |
| Is another road you’re gonna have to come back down |
| It’s just the way this big old world turns 'round |
| You’ll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime |
| You gotta go back down the road you leave behind |
| Stuck out on the highway one night |
| Many years gone by |
| Had the hood of my truck pulled up |
| My ol' gas tank was dry |
| Some ol' guy gettin' off on the night shift |
| Pulled up to check on me |
| He said I been in your shoes before son |
| And it’s no place to be |
| You see the road you leave behind you |
| Is another road you’re gonna have to come back down |
| It’s just the way this big old world turns 'round |
| You’ll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime |
| You gotta go back down the road you leave behind |
| I said what do I owe you friend you could’ve easily passed me by |
| He said next time it might be me son you don’t owe me a dime |
| You see the road you leave behind you |
| Is another road you’re gonna have to come back down |
| It’s just the way this big old world turns 'round |
| You’ll find somehow somewhere someplace sometime |
| You gotta go back down the road you leave behind |
